Battle of Warriors 2: Salim Touahri (6-1), a young up-and-coming prospect from Poland who's fairly well-rounded.
Bellator 116: Blagoi Ivanov (10-0) looks to book his place in the Tournament Finals with a win over the hard-hitting Lavar Johnson.
Bellator 116: Adam McDonough (10-0) is a talented fighter, but I don't ever see him making much noise outside of Bellator.
Bellator 116: Alexander Volkov (20-4) aims to reclaim the Heavyweight title. First he has to get into the Tournament Finals, which should be simple enough.
Belator 116: Brandon Halsey (5-0) drops down to Middleweight. A physically imposing wrestler, who more than likely crushes Joe Pacheco.
Bellator 116: Brandon Bender (11-1) aims to bounce back from his first career lose against Travis Marx.
Bellator 116: Luis Philipe Lins (7-0) is a pretty big dude, who has power power in both hands. Decent test for his Bellator debut against a game opponent.
RFA 14: Raoni Barcelos (7-0), a legit BJJ player who has improved his stand-up each time he fights. Solid prospect overall.
RFA 14: Mark Dickman (8-1) is Barcelos' opponent. This has potential to be an exciting fight, as Dickman has some skills in the striking department.
RFA 14: Tyler Voth (5-1) decent, not great. I just remember him getting sparked out by Josh Ferguson.
Songkran MMA Festival: Jeremy Kennedy (3-0) is pretty talented from the one fight I watched him in. He also fights Will Chope on May 25th.
PLMMA 31: Dawid Pasternak (3-0) challenges Mateusz Rajewski for the Bantamweight title.
Chaos Fighting Championship 13: Tommy McCafferty (5-0) fights for the Featherweight title. McCafferty has 100% finish rate, and that should continue this weekend.
Cage Warriors 67: Brett Johns (9-0) puts his Bantamweight belt on the line for the first time.
Cage Warriors 67: James Brum (14-2) challenges Johns for the Bantamweight title. This like Barcelos/Dickman has potential to be an awesome scrap.
Cage Warriors 67: Sean Carter (8-1), a grappler and that's it. But with that said he is talented in that department, so that should chalk up another win.
Cage Warriors 67: Agnieszka Niedzwiedz (5-0) is 19-years-old. A technical striker with some BJJ. Someone the UFC will be looking at the in future, no doubt.
Circuito Talent de MMA 8: Davi Ramos (3-0) likes to get the fight to the ground as quickly as possible. Ramos is someone who will attack constantly.
Circuito Talent de MMA 8: Fernando Rodriguez (5-0) comes out swinging from round one, but leaves himself open to counters.
MFC 16: Gustavo Gabriel (3-0), a 20-year-old who looks to be quite promising. But until we see him challenged it's hard to tell.
CFX 24: Sophanarith Am (3-0) is someone I've only watched once, so can't really tell how good he is.
Atlas Fights - Battle on Mobile Bay: Rance Jones (3-0) could have potential, but from what I've seen cardio could be an issue.
NCF 20: Felipe Cruz (13-2) fights for the vacant Featherweight title this Sunday.
NCF 20: Sheymon da Silva Moraes (5-0) returns for the first time since 2012. Team Nogueira's Sheymon had a lot of hype behind him prior to his absence.
NCF 20: Silas Robson de Oliveira (5-1) isn't anything special, but he should win this weekend to get back in the win column.
NCF 20: Geraldo Guimaraes Jr. (6-1) is an aggressive young striker who likes to push the pace. Currently on a six-fight win streak.

Last years Bantamweight (123-lb) Rookie Tournament winner and MVP wins by KO for a fifth time in his Mixed Martial Arts career, making that four in a row. There's a reason why I've been touting this kid, and that's mainly because Takashi Soya fights and has the same type of power as Kyoji Horiguchi. A promising young prospect with a bright future ahead of him.

Although he's got a fight lined up next month at Bantamweight, Thomas de Almeida has fought at Featherweight in the past and would be a great replacement.

When I first reported the news about Doo Ho Choi being injured, I was hoping the UFC would sign Almeida for a replacement. Instead they signed his original opponent Aaron Phillips (5-0), to step in and face Sam Sicilia at UFC 173.

Both guys have been featured pretty frequently in here, much like Julio Cesar Neves (29-0) & Luis Rafael Laurentino (25-0). But until they fight a name it's hard to get a good read on them. Right now, all four have run the can gauntlet and done what was expected of them. Almeida's next opponent, Caio Machado (4-0) is a fun stylistic match-up for the fans. Machado's last fight with Domingo Pilarte was awesome. So if it's anything like that, then it's a win for the fans.

Sheymon was someone I was keeping close tabs on prior to his two year hiatus. And was excited to see him return last month to blitz Felipe Alves.

When I first reported the news about Doo Ho Choi being injured, I was hoping the UFC would sign Almeida for a replacement. Instead they signed his original opponent Aaron Phillips (5-0), to step in and face Sam Sicilia at UFC 173.

Do you know what injury Choi sustained? I was really looking forward to that fight.
